Not only is it a good card, but to make it good you have to play "correctly', strategy wise. A good newb card in both it helps you learn the game, play better, and have a decent creature while being easy to understand.

There are three 2/2 creatures in green for one mana. (four if you count an unglued card, but I will not)
This is by far the most reliable card for green aggro. Of the other two, Pouncing Jaguar puts you behind the mana curve, and Ghazbán Ogre is arguably pretty good as well, but can easily backfire on you.
This card's drawback is more like a balance factor to it's other ability, as if you're playing green aggro with green's famous combat tricks, it will pretty much have vigilance during the turns that really matter. This is an amazing card for green aggro. It's kind of surprising how few 2/2 creatures green has for one mana, being the color of huge, effecient creatures.
In case you're curious, Ghazbán Ogress is the unglued card.

This is one of the best elves ever printed, and one of my favorites. He's a great beatdown elf, and a fantastic mana producer with things like Birchlore Rangers and Heritage Druid.
If you get him out in play with Earthcraft and Elvish Guidance, you can basically get all the mana you could ever want.

Just in case some of you missed it: Though Shadowmoor's monster-haunted wilds beckon, SHE never leaves HER post...

Isamaru with vigilance at common and not legendary? Huh? Plus the Heritage Druid...I've seen a 60-ish damage Grapeshot turn 2 by the elf combo. Why did they make this card so good?

Love this card. Might as well be a 2/2 with vigilance because lets face it when are you not gonna satisfy the condition of playing a green spell.

In T2, play Elfball, I'm telling you.

In combo, his drawback is actually an advantage. In beatdown, you will always be able to untap him. Plus, both his creature types are very relevant. Amazing card! 5/5
